Kate Middleton’s Nurse Felt Mistreated by the Hospital: Are They to Blame for Her Suicide?

No one could have ever predicted that a seemingly harmless radio prank orchestrated by two radio DJs in Australia against the Royal Family in London would lead to a suicide. But when the disc jockeys from Down Under rang up Kate Middleton’s hospital recently, a bad imitation of the Queen led to the death of a nurse who transferred the call to the pregnant Duchess’ room.



News that Jacintha Saldanha had taken her own life following the prank shocked the world. But the 46-year-old nurse left three suicide notes that will hopefully shed some light on the tragedy. While all of the details have not yet been revealed, Saldanha allegedly discusses how she tried to cope with the intense scrutiny that she was under following the prank.

And reports are surfacing that in another one of her notes, she points a finger at the staff of the King Edward VII Hospital for the way they were treating her. Although it’s not yet confirmed that she is referring to the period after the infamous call from the “Queen,” it’s safe to assume that is the case.

Further details will most likely clarify why Saldanha made the choice to hang herself in the nurses’ quarters. Until then, what do you think? Is the hospital to blame for her suicide?

    GOOD CHRIST, STOP IT.

    JUST STOP IT.

    She killed herself. That's the long and short of it. It may have been due to stresses from other things, but ultimately, she took her own life.

    No. She is. I'm sure people could have been nicer, but she could have done something about it instead of killing herself.

    I wouldn't say they're to blame but I would say they are more to blame than the pranksters. They knew her well and were in a better position to see the need for gentle treatment than the pranksters, who would have had to have been uncommonly thoughtful to see the potential. But the hospital quickly put out a statement scolding the pranksters in order to cover their own butts.

    People are too obsessed with celebrities, and everyone makes mistakes. If she hadn't killed herself, they probably would have driven her to end her job, which is just sad.

    No, SHE took her own life so SHE alone is to blame.

    Societies DAMNABLE desire to blame others for one person bad actions is out of hand ridiculous. SHE decided to kill herself and I guarantee there was a lot more going on than simply being pranked by a DJ. She had other issues, like maybe a bad hubby, LONG distance from her family, kids not behaving, THIS is a no fault suicide.

    Looking for a scapegoat every time a person kills themselves or others is ridiculous.

    I can't believe I am issuing a response to this.... Holy hell...this is an SH question... OMG Kate broke a pinky toenail and now her nurse has killed herself.... Seriously! This is how stupid it sounds! From a dress mess up to boobies on the beach to "OMG she has luvin in the oven" to oh hell her nurse killed herself. Once again I am forced to ask...who damn well cares? If the mob boss of the monarchy..the queen..goes to see the podiatrist and he can't remove a callous on her cancerous feet and he kills himself...will THAT be front page news?

    When I first heard about what happened my assumption was that her career had been threatened by the incident. Anyone who would take their life over something like that obviously had other issues going on, but it was my sense that she felt that 'it was all over' for her.

    One of her issues was the port mortum dissection of her life by hacks who know little of the hospital's position, or the possible struggles she had to endure to get to the position in the first place. Some people see "honor" very differently than the average commentor here. For some, it is among their most significant parts of their character. For others like is as significant as clipping their fingernails. Have any of you had a sudden onset of deep depression and see ridicule, real or imagined, in every direction? Who here knows of the timeline, her thoughts or the encounters she had after the transfer of that call to the end of her life? Do any of you know anything of or beyond the official version of the hospital's position?

    Blaming Kate for having severe morning sickness it to blame all women for the condition that plays havoc one women to many differing degrees. I am sure you have seen, heard or been one who reports to a hospital for severe discomfort from a cigarette burn and demanded immediate treatment. Trivial for one may be threatening to anothers health from dehydration and so much muscle stress and exhaustion that medical intervention is necessary.

    No one kills themselves without issues of depression involved unless it is a drug overdose then who can really say what the real issues were.

    Suicide is terrible and so many people do not get any help when the idea of it as a remedy to bring a quick cure to problems they either don't know how to face or do not want to face. People are often made fun of over mental problems. The mentally retarded are a good example many people seem to just not want them around and many would prefer if they were all dead.

    We have more and more wild gun incidents of people killing family and rank strangers for no seemingly real reason because some mental issue has gone to the point of explosion. Who is at fault? Well we all are because we care about nobody but ourselves. Life is so tough it is hard to think about things larger than our own survival and enjoyment.

    The prank should not have been played on the hospital or on the person answering the phone in the hospital that day' none of this was the dead woman's fault but it was probably made to seem like it was her fault to make her the innocent scapegoat for something some silly people did to her.

    The so called "silly people's" had nothing to do with her mental problems, no one goes off and kills them selves after a prank call so wouldn't you think she had her own problems. THINK.

    Agree with you totally' but she was from a foreign country and they have their traditions in how they handle embarrassment and humiliation.
    The hospital should've had protocols in place for such events.

    The blame lies squarely with security, all calls should have been intercepted, and clearly not left for the nursing staff to deal with.

    I figured the brass at the hospital probably rang her out like a washcloth, and if she was from a middle eastern country where they treat women and the lower classes like poop anyway she probably felt she deserved death. So tragic and wrong.

    Regardless of circumstance, blaming another for your suicide (or botched attempt), is like blaming the Colonel, for the flavor of his chicken, that you eat three times a week. Suicide is a personal decision, and regardless of all the bleeding heart nonsense about being pressured or "left with no alternative", the individual always has the final say.
    I am in no way saying that life is easy, nor am I saying that suicide isn't a viable alternative. What I am saying however, is very simple. Take some personal responsibility, and quit blaming someone else, when someone pulls their own trigger....Just a thought...
